A Healthy Thistle that Gets Rid of Excess Water

The artichoke has been known for ages as having a

diuretic effect because it stimulates bile and urine.

 

A study by a Japanese researcher in 1940 found that the

artichoke lowered cholesterol a bit and acted like a

diuretic. Swiss investigators also found that the

cholesterol in humans dropped after eating an artichoke.

 

Other studies done on the artichoke by US and Russian

scientists also noted a drop in blood cholesterol as well

as the artichoke having anti inflammatory activity in

dogs. French scientists were very successful in using

artichoke extract for treating kidney and liver aliments

and have taken out a patent on it.

 

Next time you feel bloated, swollen, or find that you

need to lower your cholesterol, eat an artichoke or two!

 

Artichoke Mask

 

Mash 2 well cooked artichoke hearts or 2 canned artichoke

hearts (in water not oil) in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon

plus 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and 1 teaspoon

of organic apple cider vinegar. Mix well until you have

a smooth paste. Apply the mask to your face, neck and

upper chest. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse off

with tepid water. Pat dry with a soft fluffy towel.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is

carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a

life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
